Another muggy, possibly rainy day is on tap for Houston.

Houston’s weather should remain warm and wet during the next couple of days as an upper-level low pressure system continues to produce scattered rain showers, especially across coastal counties. Some storms could be intense due to the ample moisture in the atmosphere.

Temperatures will remain near 90 degrees during the daytime, with lows falling into the low 70s at night.

The week’s main event, of course, remains the much anticipated arrival of a cool front this weekend, likely some time on Saturday. Depending upon the timing, it still looks like most of the area will see its first temperatures in the 50s on Sunday or Monday morning.

The front should also clear out our skies, bringing sun back into the forecast by, appropriately enough, Sunday.

trop·ics

Forecasters are continuing to track an area of low pressure in the Caribbean Sea that should move into the eastern Gulf of Mexico later this week. It has a 50 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm, says the National Hurricane Center.

Conditions do not appear favorable for this system to become a hurricane as it is picked up by the cold front this weekend and moved toward the Florida Panhandle or Alabama coast.

Eric:
I checked the Harris County rain gauge results here in Spring Branch and saw we’ve received almost 7 inches of rain in the last month. How has this helped out the drought conditions? Are we out of the woods yet?

Good question. I have asked a similar question in the past about Chambers County. We are WET and have been for a while but the error filled drought map still has us in a drought. They hype droughts, then fail to admit when they are gone, I guess.

I do read his blog and enjoy it very much. I also find great value in most of the comments as well where Eric sheds additional light on the topic. What I find annoying and completely out of place is the poetry attempts in the comments. What value are they adding? Leave your “poetry” postings to your own personal blogs.

If I were cleverer (I know not a word), I would pen a bit of prose so astute and so deep it would live forever in infamy!

But, since I have no such skill/talent, I will live through the talent of others – Poem Guy… do not stop! Daily three…. keep ‘em coming! Eric, your hi-kus are never dampen my day – but your forecasts just might (that is if the cold front misses us!)

So, with a light step, and lasting levity to my day, I bid you adieu from La Porte. Smile everyone – it makes people wonder what you’ve been up to!

“A little harsh, but couldn’t agree with you more. I’d much rather see a few good Katy jokes each day instead of the “poets” that do not contribute any worthy content to the comments section.”

Says the guy who didn’t contribute any worthy content.

You all must have miserable lives to be negative towards someone who does something that makes them smile every day. There are shootings in schools, people who wonder where their next meal will come from and many other REAL problems in the world – But you all want to bash someone for being poetic?

My worthy content for the comment section: People have small minds. If they come across individuals that are different from, they make fun of them. Leave people alone if they aren’t hurting you. It’s a maturity thing.
